The wooden sign post card on the right is the one that we did at KENG and the one on the right is what Michelle did with the card... When people take things home and put their own flair on it and make is so much better.. I just love it!!!!

Cup Cake Stand Card

Rainbows and Butterflys Card

You can get a GREAT effect with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and your aqua pen... if you draw directly onto your card stock and then go over each colour individually you can make lovely rainbow!!!! Just like this card...


Shabby Chic is always a popular choice in card making... and using your collection of old buttons is a great way to decorate your cards!!!
Shabby Chic Wedding Card

Cards for the Birds

So have you noticed that for the last coupe of years BIRDS are quite the popular decoration.... ESPECIALLY owls...

This card is such a cute card!! It was inspired by someone's card on Stampin connection... Kim, one of our Paper Angels is AWESOME at finding fantastic cards on Stampin Connection (Exclusive to Stampin Up Demos around the world.. web site to share ideas, creations, Chat groups and get help) and when she shows us her discoveries on a Tuesday at Bayside craft group... well we just have to get her to send us the photos that she has taken so we can recreate them too!!!....

I love that you can change the owls expression with simply by putting the little white gel pen shine in different places....

Everyone loves this one...

This one here was made for Mothers day with my church group of 8 to 11 year old kids... they had heaps of fun creating this one... and it was an easy one to make too!!!

Bleaching Goodness!!!

Oh My GOODNESS... I LOVE LOVE LOVE BLEACHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Again one of the techniques from convention that was demonstrated to us... I just had to come home and try this one.... How much do I LOVE it... let me count the ways.... one millionty times ~~~~~
 
Bleaching Stensiling Daubering Designer Scrapping Pages

With this technique you can create any kind of backing paper you want..... so no more excuses for not begin able to get a backing page (DSP) to match your photos anymore!!!! It's AMAZING and SO ARTY!!! It gives you a real sense of satisfaction to see the pages come to life right before your eyes... and with the bleaching it is a little like magic!!!! Words just do not explain how exciting it all really is.. you will just have to try it yourself!!!!

The below is a picture of the page that I demoed at one of our meetings... if you would like to see the UTube video of our training click this link... (link to come)

Design your own 12x12 pages by Bleaching Stensiling & Daubering

Have a BLEACHING good time!!!

Big Shot Class

Convention is ALWAYS inspiring.. and although it may have been a few months ago I am still getting inspiration out of all the fantastic ideas we saw there.... I designed this class from a couple of the LOVELY projects that were presented to us by one of the demonstrator presenters....

There are so many ways you can use your Stampin Up tools and Big Shot dies!!!! Then only limits are your imagination and creativity!!!

Scrapbook Page Big Shot

Daisy Chain on the Big Shot Page

By folding your card stock a little smaller than your dies cutting edges you can achieve a larger sized or a chain of the big shot die.... these 2 pages use  the  Scallop Square Bigz Clear (115950) and the Blossom Party Originals (115971)... You can have as much fun creating pages as we had on this trip to Scarborough (fair)....
Enjoy EXPERIMENTING!!!

We all Fall Down

I love the fact that in life we all fall down.. Nothing is perfect.. And the truth of the matter is... that is how we learn.... some may fall harder than others..... have you watched children playing lately????? What do they do when they fall down????? Yep that's right they get right back up again and keep on going... we sure can learn so much from them.... May we all face life's challenges with the youthful outlook... and get right back up again on our feet and keep trying....

These are some great random 'natural' photos I took on the way to the park and at the park one day with my boys and Liz's... My Boys had never roller bladed before.. and it was wonderful to watch them as they learned to (mess up...heheheh) master this new skill... what was so heart warming was the fact that the boys were all willing to lend a hand to each other when needed... and the 2 youngest at one stage shared one blade each.... doesn't it just melt your heart!!! What good boys!!!!

Simply Scored Box Pleated Strip

This page was inspired by one that we saw at this years Stampin' Up! convention... I've used the Top note die and folded the card stock in four so that there is a great photo mat under the photos... The Simply Scored has come in handy also for the fabulous box pleated DSP strip...

Riped adn Laced DSP

My lovely Sister and her Daughter are a couple of my favorite people.. although we do not get to spend a lot of time together they are always in my heart and mind.... and cause I have little boys... well the whole pretty flower thingy needs a little more feminine photos.. and one can only scrap so many of ones self!!! (especially when one is sooooooooooooo fussy about which photo one likes of ones self!!!) I am so glad that I do have some REALLY nice photos of them together from their interstate visits with us.... It may have taken me a couple of years to scrap these ones but I have finally done it!!!!

I took a whole 12 x 12" page of DSP and ripped a section out of it.... then rolled the edges of the ripped section over, glued it down to a full page of Whisper White 12x12 card stock and laced the top of it together with some lovely ribbon....

This STUNNING flower is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITES!!!! It has been made with 3 punches, Card stock, Rhinestone Brad and a spritz bottle of water...
1. Simply punch out two of the Blossom punch (125603), three of the 5 Petal Flower (now retired :(...), and two of the middle sized flower in the Boho Blossoms punch (119858)....
2. Spritz them all with your water spritz... and then go to town scrunching them up like they are rubbish... I even roll them arround in my hands when they are in little balls....
3. Once they are mostly dry you can then layer them and pierce a hole in the middle of them then secure all layers with a brad...Continue to play with the shape and the scrunching of each petal a little to get the right look... Once it is dry you will find your flower will keep it's shape very nicely!!!
